Psalms 104:17-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 104
17Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the juniper trees. 18The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock hyrax. 19He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting. 20You appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl about. 21The young lions roar for their prey And seek their food from God. 22 When the sun rises they withdraw, And they lie down in their dens. 23A person goes out to his work And to his labor until evening.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
18The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for hyraxes.
19He made the moon to mark the festivals; the sun knows when to set.
20You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals stir.
21The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
22The sun rises; they go back and lie down in their dens.
New Living Translation
Chapter 104
17There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses. 18High in the mountains live the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.
19You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.
20You send the darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about.
21Then the young lions roar for their prey, stalking the food provided by God.
22At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.
23Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.
English Standard Version
Chapter 104
17In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees. 18The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. 19He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting. 20 You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about. 21 The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. 22When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens. 23 Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.New International Version
18The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.
19He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
20You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
22The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.
